Budget 2026 invests in major highway and bridge projects to reduce congestion, shorten commute times and expand vital transportation corridors.

If passed, Budget 2026 will invest more than $8.3 billion for the Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors’ three-year Capital Plan. This includes $3.3 billion in capital grants to municipalities and $4.8 billion to build, expand and maintain Alberta’s vast road and bridge network, supporting growth and ensuring Albertans spend less time stuck in traffic.

“Our capital plan is focused on building for growth and maintaining what matters. We are making significant infrastructure transportation investments across Alberta to reduce commute times while also improving safety. We are planning for the future by making strategic investments, maintaining and extending the life of our 64,000-kilometre road and 4,900-bridge network.”

Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors
